The History of Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day traces its origins to the pagan customs of the third or fourth century BC, coinciding with the Fertility Festival of Ancient Rome. Over time, this festival was Christianized and transformed into a celebration of love rather than lust. In 1537, King Henry VIII issued a Royal Charter declaring that all of England would observe Saint Valentine’s Day on February 14. Today, much of the world celebrates the day by exchanging cards and tokens of affection. Among the most popular gifts for lovers on Valentine’s Day is lingerie.

Why buy Lingerie for Valentines Day?

Valentine’s Day gifts should be intimate and meaningful expressions of love. Lingerie is the perfect choice, making the recipient feel cherished while delighting the giver as well. A carefully selected Valentine’s lingerie gift is a thoughtful gesture that shows you’ve put time and care into choosing something truly appreciated.

What type of Lingerie makes the best Valentines gift?

While the obvious choice might be “sexy lingerie,” sexy doesn’t have to mean skimpy thongs and barely-there bras. A woman feels and looks her best in flattering underwear that feels luxurious against her skin, enhances her figure, and is crafted from high-quality materials. At Lynn’s Leather ‘N Lace, we are confident you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for when shopping online. Sensual and chic underwear that can be worn every day—whether for a romantic dinner or to brighten her workday—is a far more thoughtful gift than a black feather-trimmed babydoll that’s worn once and then tucked away.

If you want the best of both worlds—sexy Valentine’s lingerie that becomes an everyday favorite—try a set of deep red lace lingerie. Add a pair of garters to complete the look.

Traditional Valentine’s lingerie colors include red—the color of lust and passion, white, symbolizing purity and innocence; and pink, the classic feminine shade associated with Valentine’s Day since the blooming of the Pink Almond Tree following St. Valentine’s burial.

Advice for men:

What type of Underwear do women want?

Men often like sinfully dark coloured underwear but be warned however that while ladies like to be spoilt most women are at heart quite practical and if your loved one has no dark blouses or t-shirts to wear over the sexy black lingerie she would probably prefer something a little more subtle so she can enjoy your present on a regular basis! Classy ladies appreciate classy lingerie, but they also appreciate your making the effort to choose something that is appropriate for them. Many younger women like to wear lingerie that is designed to be on display with sexy lace edging to peek out of a neckline.

Curvy women often prefer a full-cup bra over delicate silky triangles held together by elastic, while petite women may appreciate a bra that subtly enhances their shape. However, unless you know she specifically wants one, most women would rather not receive a wonder bra as a Valentine’s gift. Many women find thongs or g-strings uncomfortable for everyday wear—if your partner is one of them, consider gifting beautiful and sexy lace shorties or panties instead. Lace is both elegant and luxurious, but be sure to choose high-quality lace that is comfortable and sophisticated. Nothing is worse than scratchy, cheap lingerie or lace that shrinks after washing.
